My party finally got to Krezk with Ireena Kolyana, and I ran the scene where Sergei appears at ths holy pool to try to let Ireena escape from Barovia. My cleric got spooked and YANKED Ireena back, which caused Sergei to disappear.

I'm upset because I was really looking forward to Ireena departing peacefully while Strahd RAGES in his castle and causes a EARTHQUAKE and THUNDERSTORM. That would've been such a good story progression, but now Ireena is just kinda stuck in Krezk and I don't know what to do with her.

I was thinking of making her go to castle Ravenloft, but I feel like she wouldn't do that despite being heartbroken and depressed.

What should I do with her? Where should she go?
